Diamonds Are Forever Lyrics
They are all I need to please me,
They can stimulate and tease me,
They won't leave in the night,
I've no fear that they might desert me.
Diamonds are forever,
Hold one up and then caress it,
Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
I can see every part,
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll luster on.
Sparkling round my little finger.
Unlike men, the diamonds linger;
Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for.
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll luster on.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Forever and ever.
This is the best song in the whole world! When you're feeling down in the dumps, sick of constantly meeting horrible men that treat you so bad, there's nothing like putting shirley on and singing your heart out! Diamonds are much better than men!
This is a 007 song, y'know.
ya I hate James Bond and I heard it on a music video by David Arnold i think....anyway, I like her version of it too! It's great!
...
lmao she wrote the damn song. It's the original, shirley is, the original.
007...it wasnt made for that movie, haha my god people..
she did NOT write it, John Barry and Donald Black did and it WAS made for that movie.... but this is the quintessential JB Theme... and Shirley ROCKS it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^^yeah, Alex Turner showed her up ;)
On one of my James Bond special features it has an interview with I think John Barry and he said he told Shirley to sing the song like it was about a penis .. instead of diamonds.
You can kind of see the connection in the lyrics:
"They are all I need to please me, They can stimulate and tease me,"
"Hold one up and then caress it, Touch it, stroke it and undress it, I can see every part,"
.. and yes, Shirley didn't write it, it was made for the movie (along with Goldfinger, John Barry was the best Bond composer)
i love the song and the film :)
I LOVE THE ARCTIC MONKEYS VERSION
